Physics you can actually understand
Finally, education on physics and spacetime for a hyperactive brain to stick to. Never thought it’d happen but I guess I’ve only had male teachers. Michelle Thaller is a much better alternative.
I found life lessons I left behind in my Notes App
On my birthday, I make a list of everything I learned in the year before. The item quantity equates the age I’m growing out of. This list making only works with a solid written documenter or a memory that’s intact. The contents of my recent list were 90% pulled from my Notes App. You might only use it as a list taker, but lists can hold a lot of weight.
Hal & Harper
If you don’t have Mubi, get the free trial just to watch this 8 ep series. The soundtrack alone brought me to tears, but Cooper’s writing/directing/editing/acting with Lily’s impressive emotional acting PLUS Mark Ruffalo - this split me in half. A show about childhood trauma and family codependency but in the most unexpected and heart healing storytelling framework. Crazy that Cooper is only 29.
We need to bring back sleepovers
We were never freezing bras or having pillow fights. We were having fashion shows and witnessing our best friend’s parents love on their kids. We were trying different foods and crying on our friend’s cheetah print pillow about the boy that won’t text back. These are core social skills, yes, but also building blocks to those kindred spirit connections, ones we lost the key to when we could buy our own houses and instead chose to lock the door. It’s time to bring back the sleepover, no matter the age.
